2020 GIFT GUIDE
Lithophanes come to life by light shining from the backside to reveal a true little work of art. These 3D printed lithophanes are made in house on our machines to take your "flat" 2D photo and turn it into something that you can feel and see the depth of. Each light is scaled to the photograph but will be about 4-4.5 inches wide and tall. The print does have a curvature to it to flow around the nightlight.
After making your purchase, you will be contacted to send over a high resolution digital photo. Photos taken from a digital camera or modern cell phone work great. If the photo was taken at night, or is darker in nature, we may need to adjust the lighting to assist the details to come out. These prints take 10-15 hours to produce, and then will ship out to you via USPS First Class Parcel mail. A light sensing led night light is included with every nightlight order. We recommend keeping the nightlight in a spot that does not have prolonged direct sunlight. While the PLA plastic that is used for the print is very strong, prolonged direct sunlight (or direct heat as well) can soften the material.

A Combination of Live-Edged and Milled Lumber Makes Each Rustic Cedar Bench Unique
Bruce Maxson + Cedar Salavge’s benches are handcrafted in the Hudson Valley using an invasive species (Eastern Red Cedar) to make simple, solid garden benches. No attempt has been made to hide the natural features of the cedar, including seams, knots, saw blade marks, etc.
Each bench is unique, and can be inscribed with the name of a famous nature writer (e.g. Edward Abbey, John Burroughs, Henry Beston, etc.)
Benches are treated with a blend of linseed and tung oil, for weathering protection, and to bring out the natural cedar tones without the plastic shine of polyester resins.
Eventually Recyclable: Leopold style benches are designed to last for many seasons, but to eventually be returned to the earth and be recycled.
Please note: This item is available for local delivery and assembly in Ulster, Dutchess, Orange, Columbia, Greene, Putnam counties. Other locations by arrangement only. Fully-assembled benches can also be picked up in Kingston.
This card pack features seven unique cards & seven white envelopes. “I hope you write many happy notes with these & remind people how you feel about them.”

100 recipes for seasonal, locally sourced, and foraged dishes from the owner of the idyllic Catbird Cottage B&B in Ulster County.
“Melina Hammer shows us that there is beauty all around us when we cook seasonally. . . . A joyful, inspiring book for cooks, bakers, artists, and dreamers.”—Amanda Hesser, founder and CEO, Food52
At the foot of the Shawangunk Mountain Ridge lies the hamlet of Accord, New York, dotted with orchards and farms, population 562. There, Melina Hammer welcomes guests from near and far to stay and eat at Catbird Cottage, a B&B run out of her charming home. Her eclectic table is set with meals that showcase stories and ingredients from her own garden, New York’s wild landscape, and her travels around the globe.
In her debut cookbook, Melina shares the beloved recipes from this special place, all presented seasonally just like the meals at Catbird Cottage. These recipes are organized by season, since the seasons dictate what’s on the Catbird Cottage table. Whether it’s Wild Salmon Gravlax, Scallop-Shiso Ceviche, Buttery Scrambled Eggs and Chanterelles, Sour Cherry Pie, or a fall-apart persimmon served with triple-cream cheese and freshly baked sourdough bread, Melina’s food is deeply satisfying and sustaining—and emphasizes cooking and living in a more connected and joyful way.
Melina also shares her foraging and preserving know-how, allowing readers to stock their pantries, cupboards, and freezers. But these recipes don’t require you be a fully-fledged homesteader, expert forager, or connoisseur of global flavor. The book takes the foundations of these sustainable practices and integrates them into an accessible kitchen vernacular of complete nourishment. The food of Catbird Cottage is community on a plate—grown, harvested, persevered, and presented with love—and shared with cherished companions.
Price includes shipping.

Farrago (noun): a confused mixture.
Volume 2: Farrago, The Archivists' much anticipated follow-up to their debut album, finds the band in a space where they are sounding both more experimental and cohesive at the same time. Crafting a signature sound from wide blend of influences like its predecessor, Farrago never sits still, weaving in and out of genres while still taking the listener on a cohesive journey.
Farrago loosely tells the tale of a world on the brink, expressing the internal turmoil of feeling frustrated, angry, apathetic, disappointed, sad, broken, defiant, hopeful, and joyful against all odds in the face of an uncertain future.
Releases March 28, 2025
Note: This is a digital download directly from the artist.
From the appropriately titled lead-off track The Arrival, it is obvious this is a band more mature than their release count would suggest. A winding journey through their various styles and influences, Volume 1 introduces the Archivists as a band that is both meandering and focused. Unpredictable and following ideas where they lead, the album is at times brutally heavy and at others soft and embracing. Tracks like The Arrival, Consolation, and Your Big Mistake refuse to be taken lightly as they rumble and soar with energy, contrasting tracks like The Last One, Hold the Applause, and These Fears that find the duo's varied musical influences shining through, from alt-rock to industrial to grunge to prog.
Both an art project and a band, The Archivists is a collaboration between long-time friends and hobby musicians Jordan Hirsch and Adam Mitchell. The unknown duo are ready to step into the light with a home grown and self-produced debut album that proves their time in the shadows was spent honing their craft.
Note: This is a digital download directly from the artist.
Called, “extraordinary,” and, “a sound world that crashes together acoustic and electric textures with composed and improvised performances,” this 4-song EP features the band's experiments with electronic music, collective improvisation, and influences from rock, jazz, and hip-hop, and functions as the sandbox 9 Horses played in to prepare for their massive upcoming release, Omegah.

Known for its virtuosic improvisations and wide-ranging stylistic flexibility, the experimental chamber ensemble 9 Horses has announced the release of its double album Omegah (Adhyâropa Records, TBR 08.06.21). Featuring three of today’s leading instrumentalists, Joe Brent (mandolin), Sara Caswell (violin), and Andrew Ryan (bass), the band’s performance on this album gives listeners the opportunity to experience its organic evolution from its acoustic original duo to its current revered acoustic/electric ensemble.
What began as a remarkable jazz-meets-new acoustic trio has blossomed as the band expanded its lineup, augmented its musical palette, and experimented with a variety of sound worlds including small chamber groups, avant-garde synth ensembles, and symphony orchestras. According to Sara Caswell, Omegah reflects 9 Horses’s natural progression. “This record is the culmination of years of experimenting with band members, musical timbres, colors and styles. In a way, it portrays our group’s entire odyssey.”
Six years in the making, Omegah is 9 Horses’s second full-length album. The first was the all-acoustic Perfectest Herald (Sunnyside Records) released in 2015. The centerpiece of that album was a four-movement suite for the acoustic trio alone. All About Jazz wrote that the music, "is just bursting with emotion and its immediacy is partly what makes it so attractive and inviting. This highly emotive music touches and communicates the essence of what it means to be an alive, feeling human being." The more digitally enhanced follow-up EP Blood From A Stone (Sunnyside Records) was released in 2019.
This third and by far largest album is a continuation of the two previous ones: acoustic and electric textures ever-present, blending seamlessly with one another throughout. It stands as a musical representation of the breadth of the band members’ influences and experiences, from classical to jazz and laced with folk and pop sensibilities, and as always, largely improvised.
The album was substantially recorded during the pandemic in Brent’s home studio and remotely from the home studios of 9 Horses’s collaborators. While the onset of COVID lockdowns initially created a challenge to complete the then-half-finished record, it eventually gave the trio an opportunity to be even more meticulous and expansive in its palette. As Brent noted: “Without the constraint of a prescribed amount of studio time, I got a chance to really tinker with the inner workings of the tunes. Entire sections were ripped out and re-composed, or re-recorded without the pressure of watching a clock. Each piece had time to grow and breathe naturally in our ears and imaginations rather than in the mixing engineer’s DAW. It was a unique opportunity for us, and wound up much more organic in feel than a stitched-together representation of just whatever studio time we had to work with.”

Lithophanes come to life by light shining from the backside to reveal a true little work of art. These 3D printed lithophanes are made in house on our machines to take your "flat" 2D photo and turn it into something that you can feel and see the depth of. Each light is scaled to the photograph but will be about 4-4.5 inches wide and tall. The print does have a curvature to it to flow around the nightlight.
After making your purchase, you will be contacted to send over a high resolution digital photo. Photos taken from a digital camera or modern cell phone work great. If the photo was taken at night, or is darker in nature, we may need to adjust the lighting to assist the details to come out. These prints take 10-15 hours to produce, and then will ship out to you via USPS First Class Parcel mail. A light sensing led night light is included with every nightlight order. We recommend keeping the nightlight in a spot that does not have prolonged direct sunlight. While the PLA plastic that is used for the print is very strong, prolonged direct sunlight (or direct heat as well) can soften the material.
